ABSTRACT
This paper reports the nursing experience of 5 cases of Charcot's arthropathy undergoing rotating hinge prosthesis knee replacement. The nursing care focused on psychological nursing, preoperative examinations, control of blood glucose and treatment of syphilis during preoperative period, as well as wound care, management of drainage tube, prevention of complications and early functional exercise during the postoperative period. All cases were followed up through 6 to 60 months. The short-term outcomes were satisfying. One patient suffered from periprosthetic femoral fracture at 23-month after the operation, and healed up eventually after open reduction and internal fixation.
